Love is a Battlefield

Fox, Haaretz, Ynet and this...I count at least 4....and someone said Israeli TV, too...

[SE Mom]

HAHAHAa..Nanny-nanny-boo-boo:)

I said earlier..my seat belt is now officially broken.

[Txsleuth]

Don't you just hate when that happens....my gr-daughter always gets Boardwalk and Park Place also...grrrrr

[Knitting A Conundrum]

They don't want to give it away any more?

[AliVeritas]

I responded that you were right in your three options.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Maybe a tank rolled over the Fox reporter.

[Txsleuth]

They posted the estimated number of tunnels and bunkers in S. Lebanon but I missed it...a couple hundred???

But, it did say they were built with Iran's help...but we knew that.

Yep. Its kind of funny to see the Hebrew Palestinian daily be gung ho full of patriotism. Amazing what's happening on Shabbat in Israel. Just when you think no miracles are in sight, they happen!

(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)

LOL! Seatbelt broken?

Does your vehicle have an "Oh Sh*t!" handle?

If so, ya better hang on, dear! ;^)

[Knitting A Conundrum]

What I am curious about is why did we take this that far to the wire? Were we buying them more time, setting up something we knew they would in the end reject? Psyops? Or did we really blink, or get so caught up in the negotiations we lost our sense of things...

IDF denies warship was hit by Hizbullah

The Israel Defense Forces denied reports in Arab media that a Navy warship was hit by a Hizbullah rocket, the army says.

Hizbullah said it sank an Israel warship off the coast of Tyre in southern Lebanon. (Hanan Greenberg)

Hey Sleuth--I read the complete URL for Fox streaming and it mentioned 'project'. I get the feeling they are preparing for a 'for a fee' service of some kind. And, streaming has stopped.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

You are referring to Haaretz?

[mystery-ak]

Yes.....hubby said this constant invading and then pulling out waiting for a diplomatic solution takes it's toll on the alertness and morale of the troops..

Fishing without a license is a FELONY on this thread...

LOL just in time for the real war to start.
